O. Henry Work Quotations

We're still a maturing team, there's still some way to go and that's good, we've got things to work on.

Of course I would have liked a little more carries. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. Chris only got (19). We didn't run the ball that much. It was good to be back, for the camaraderie. It's a good thing.

From our perspective, we want to support the baseball classic but it's actually a plus for us he's coming here on March 1 and not going there, but we haven't asked him not to play. I think it's going to work out very well.

We work together as an organization damned well and have a strong sense of humor about much of what goes on around us - thankfully. The media has been in much more turmoil over the Red Sox than has been the case internally.

We want to work with other parts of the U.S. government, being able to (use) members of their organizations. We want to work formally ... with them and do everything we can to make them successful.

In the game of baseball the hitters at this level are so good, you just can't make any mistakes. They will take advantage of free passes. That is the biggest thing. I am a control guy.

Homelessness is a horrible plight, especially for someone with a family. I have a great husband, great children who are healthy, doing well in school and are well adjusted. A lot has been given to me. I don't know why my life is so blessed and why others (that) work just as hard, for some reason, are not. I want to do what I can and I'm impressed with the integrity of Habitat for Humanity.

I believe his work in Black Psychology will influence future generations. His contribution to building the Department of African American Studies will remain and inspire as long as the department exists.

The kids wanted to work hard and to be a competitive program. I took their energy and built on it. I took the energy and shaped it best way I saw fit.
